Released on October 25, 2011, And Before Elf... There Were Elves features archival recordings of Ronnie James Dio's former band The Elves. Comprised of both live and studio tracks from 1971, these songs have been remastered and compiled for this very special release.

This album is now the second release from Niji Entertainment Group to feature special artwork-- a lenticular cover that shows both the original cover and the vintage group shot seen above.
